SuperHummus

I think I just gave my hummus superpowers by having a genetically modified spider… no, that doesn’t sound right. I should’ve gone with a Popeye reference, given that the catalyst to the transformation of my hummus was spinach!

I soak dried chickpeas overnight, then rinse them and cook them with fresh water. I use a pressure cooker – it takes about 18 minutes on full pressure for the chickpeas to get nicely soft. I let the pressure release naturally and blend into hummus while still a bit warm.

To turn this into superhummus, just add some steamed spinach to the blender.

I microwaved the spinach with a tbsp of water, covered, for 3 minutes. It was about 50 gms when cooked. Once cool, I poured the spinach and liquid into the mixer and blended everything together till very smooth.
